Overview

  • On June 12, Kelly revealed an unedited poolside bikini photo alongside a digitally altered version to show the power of image manipulation tools.
  • She quipped “I’ve got a belly” to normalise real body shapes and push back against unrealistic beauty expectations.
  • Guest Emily Clarkson, Jeremy Clarkson’s daughter and a body-positivity advocate, joined the discussion on how easily filters can reshape appearances.
  • ITV has reduced Lorraine’s daytime programme from a 60-minute daily show to a 30-minute seasonal format as part of its schedule overhaul.
  • Kelly’s 12-month contract as Head of Lorraine expires next year, leaving open the possibility that she could step down after completing the current series revamp.
